Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carrying case for a personal computer that houses and carries a portable sized personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a "pan computer").

Conventional configurations and their problems In recent years, personal computers have become widespread in households for hobbies, games, and educational purposes. However, conventionally, computers
Since they were used in offices and the like by being equipped with a dedicated output device and installed on a dedicated desk, sufficient consideration was not given to how they would be used at home. In ordinary households, a commonly installed television is used as an output device. Unfortunately, it is difficult to set up a dedicated space for a computer, and when it is not in use, it is common to put it away in a paper case. Furthermore, recently, people are not only using computers at home, but also taking them out to use at friends' homes or while traveling.

The conventional usage of personal computers in general households will be explained below.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a typical usage pattern of a conventional personal computer.

An output television 1 is placed on a television stand 2 and is always installed at a fixed location. Computer 3 is 1, TV 1
It is installed on the table 4 placed in front of the. If you place the computer 3 directly on the floor or tatami mat, you will have to lean forward too much and get tired, so in most homes, the computer 3 is placed on a stand with a table as shown in Figure 1. This is what is currently being used.

However, in ordinary households, there is usually not enough space in the room to keep a pan controller in the same place all the time, so when the computer is not in use, it is often put away in a paper case for packing. . For this reason, in the conventional usage pattern as described above, each time you use a computer, you have to take out the table and place it in front of the TV, then take the computer out of the paper case and set it on the table. It was very troublesome.

In addition, because tables and ready-made stands are not specially made for operating the pan controller, it is not always possible to install the pan controller at the optimal height for easy operation, which may cause the user to suffer from neck and neck injuries. This has the problem of causing fatigue to the arms, etc., and reducing efficiency.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a carrying case that is easy to put away and convenient for carrying when storing a computer, and when using the computer, it is installed at a height suitable for operation. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a carrying case for a personal computer that also has the function of a dedicated stand for the personal computer.

Composition of the Invention The present invention provides a storage unit that can position and store a personal computer, a lid that covers the computer and can be opened and closed, a lid locking means configured to prevent the lid from being opened when the computer is stored, and a computer that can be used for storage. This is a carrying case for a computer, which is equipped with a holding means for holding the storage part in order to install the computer at a height suitable for operation.By changing the form of the case, there are no noticeable protrusions when the computer is stored. It is a box-shaped case that is easy to carry, and when using a computer, it becomes a dedicated stand that allows the computer to be placed at a height suitable for operation.

Description of examples Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figures 2 to 6 show the steps from when a carrying case for a personal computer is stored in an embodiment of the present invention to when the case lid is opened and set as a dedicated stand for using the personal computer. FIG.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the carrying case when storing the pan-con.

As shown in FIG. 3, the personal computer 10 is housed inside the housing part 11, positioned by ribs 12, and covered with a lid 14. As shown in FIG. 3, the lid 14 has a structure that can be separated from the storage part 11, and the protrusions 16 of the lid 1202 are fitted into the two grooves 18 (only one is shown) of the storage part 11. Furthermore, the storage section 11 and the lid 14 are fixed by the two lid lock mechanisms 2o, so that the lid 14 cannot be opened.

The structure of the two lid locking mechanisms 2° as lid locking means will be explained with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged perspective view of the lid locking mechanism 2o shown in FIG. 2, and here shows a state in which the lock is released and the lid 14 is slightly opened. The storage section 11 and the lid 14 are each provided with lid locking tabs 22 and 24. When the lock slider 26 is moved in the direction of arrow A after the lid 14 is closed, the lid locking tabs 22 and 24 are respectively provided. The lock slider 26 is attached to the protrusion 28 of the
The grooves 30 are fitted together, the lid 14 and the storage part 11 are fixed, and the lid 14 cannot be opened.

In FIG. 2, 32 is a handle that makes it easier to carry the case.

As mentioned above, the carrying case of this embodiment is
When storing the computer without using it or carrying it around, the case becomes a box-like case that does not have noticeable protrusions or dents that spoil the aesthetic appearance of the computer.

From the computer storage state shown in FIG. 2, the lock slider 26 of the above-mentioned lid locking mechanism 2o is removed, the lid 14 is opened, the lid 14 is separated from the storage section 11, and the state in which the computer is placed upside down is shown in FIG. show.

Inside the lid 14, there are four U-shaped metal legs 3.
4 (only two shown) are attached.

The structure of mounting the legs 34 is shown in FIG. Both ends of the U-shape of the leg 34 are bent at right angles at the tip, and the concave-shaped leg can be attached to the support shaft holes 38 provided on both sides of the angle 36.
It's stuck in. Both ends of the legs 34 have angles 36
Before being attached to the shaft, the distance between both sides of the angle 36 is wide, and the angle 36 is fitted into the support shaft hole 38 with both ends shortened. Therefore, the legs 34 are pressed against the inner surface of the angle 36 by a "spring force" that tends to open them outward. The angle 36 is the lid 14
It is screwed to the inner surface of the body with two screws 4o.

In FIG. 7, one leg 34 is provided with a stepped portion 42 and cutouts 44 on both sides of the angle 36 in order to raise the leg 34 and fix and hold it in a predetermined position. Now, if you raise the leg 34 in the direction of arrow B from the state shown in FIG.
The stepped portion 42 of the leg 340 fits into the notch 44 of the angle 36, and the leg 34 is held in this position. To store the raised leg 34, pinch both ends of the leg 34, remove the stepped portion 42 from the notch 44, insert it inside, and then fold it in the opposite direction of arrow B. Return to the state shown in the figure.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which only one leg 34 is raised.

When all four legs 34 are raised in the manner described above and the lid 14 is turned over again, a table-like stand as shown in FIG. 4 is obtained. A positioning protrusion 46 is provided on the top surface of the lid 14, and the storage portion 11 can be placed on the lid 14 by fitting into a recess (not shown) on the bottom surface of the storage portion 11. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, it can be set as a dedicated stand for the computer 10.

At this time, take out the computer 10 from the storage compartment 11 and remove the lid 1.
You may also use it by directly installing it on top of 4.

As described above, in this embodiment, by attaching four legs that can be folded in and stored on the inner surface of the lid of the carrying case of the Nonancon, the computer can be installed at a height suitable for operation. It can be used as a stand.

In this embodiment, the four legs 34 are attached to the inner surface of the lid 14 with emphasis on aesthetic design, but the legs are built into the bottom of the storage section 11 so that the legs are only used when the computer is in use. You can also raise it up and use it as a dedicated stand.

Further, as the locking mechanism 20 of the lid 14, the lid locking claws 22, 24 and the D-lock slider 26 were used, but any mechanism may be used as long as it fixes the lid 14 and the storage section 11. For example, This can also be achieved by fixing the two with magic tape or the like. It's a box-like case with no dents or anything like that.
It has a shape that is easy to handle and carry, and when using a computer, it can be used as a dedicated stand by changing the shape of the case.

For this reason, especially at home, each time you use a computer, you set up a table in front of the TV, take the computer out of its packing paper case, and place it on the dirt of the table before using it. Compared to the
There is no longer a need for a table, and there is no need to take out the computer from the carrying case, which greatly reduces the effort involved in setting up and cleaning up the computer.

In addition, it is convenient to store accessories such as connection cords and peripheral devices in addition to the computer itself in the carrying case.

Furthermore, the carrying case according to the present invention also has the function of a dedicated stand designed and manufactured to install a personal computer at the optimal height for operation.

This reduces fatigue on the user's neck and arms, compared to conventional methods where the pan controller was placed on a ready-made table and the height was difficult to make it suitable for operation. , efficiency can be improved, and its practical effects are great.
